Kraenion’s Vision Engine platform includes active learning ...

A goal of the “Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act” is to prevent illegally harvested fish from entering our ports and market and to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Seafood is highly vulnerable to fraud due to factors such as the similar appearance of many species, variation in prices, complex supply chains, and challenges with supply and dem ...

SOCOM is one of the most vital force projection elements for the Department of Defense. SOCOM’s mission is a lean, agile, and lethal force. While deployed in austere, challenged and contested environments, vigilance of incoming threats from an adversary is highly important and time critical. In addition, the size and nature of the terrain may be significant, and operations may be stealthy or con ...

The hand held Wheel Inspector provides the capability to measure wheel profiles, create wheel rim surface models, identify and classify defects using combined surface and image intensity data.The device uses a camera and two laser profilometers to recover the wheel profile to an accuracy of 0.00012 inches; an ultrasonic sensor provides the wheel back-to-back measurement.The device supports two mod ...

To address the USSOCOM need for a wearable next-generation field computing device, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Hyper-Enabled LAN Integrated Operator (HELIOS) technology based on the maturation of Intellisense’s existing smart hub technology and interconnection solutions to meet the USSOCOM requirements. Specifically, the innovation in USB 3.1 Gen. 2 data and power delive ...

Hivemapper proposes to develop an Open Source Dash Camera that is optimized for the production of high-resolution 3D maps, and to build a cohesive 3D mapping pipeline to generate fused 3D maps from both air and ground FMV sources. The production of the camera will include both hardware assembly and software development to calibrate and streamline the flow of multiple streams of ultra-high resoluti ...

Space Micro, together with its partner, CACI National Systems and Innovative Solutions (NSIS) proposes to develop a space-qualified RF payload for nanosatellites that passively collects RF signals over a wide bandwidth, identifying signals of interest by their spectrum, captures and time stamps these signals of interest, and – alone or together with other satellites or ground-based assets geo-lo ...

Rapid sleep schedule shift, such as resulted from travel or work schedules, causes severe disruption in the circadian clocks. Due to the frequent travel and night missions, circadian clock misalignment is a major contributor to the nonrestorative sleep that undermines subsequent performance in SOF operators and other elite soldiers with similarly demanding missions. In the absence of effective sle ...

To address the USSOCOM’s need for a non-GPS and optically agnostic solution to navigation and targeting, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new Celestial-Assured Navigation (CelNav) software system based on a novel integration of celestial navigation, information theory, and computer vision. CelNav uses a clock, deep learning, celestial charts, and celestial tracking ...

CelNav systems are currently deployed in aerospace systems, but they depend on unobscured views and relatively smooth and predictable motions over long periods of time. Using these systems for SOCOM ground operations defined by highly variable viewing angles and motion profiles goes well beyond simple adaptation, requiring fundamentally new approaches for select sub-systems associated with primary ...
